Help! Someone Else is Driving!


HELP!! 
We have inexperienced drivers in the house!!

It is true two of our sons are beginning to drive.  One is old enough to be in driver's education and the other is beginning to drive the old truck in the field (he want's to learn how to drive a stick).  This past week I picked up my step-son from his job.  He hopped in the car and I asked, "Well, have you driven on the road yet?"  His reply, "Yes."  I asked if he wanted to drive home.  He said, "You're going to let me drive!!!" 

I might have gained a grey hair or two, but there is no better way to learn than to get behind the wheel and go for it.  Of course, as with everything in life it is best and we learn much quicker if we have a loving teacher to guide us. 

This experience is one of those times that I think people overlook as being spiritual.  What a beautiful experience to watch our young men grow and become more confident.  We are able to gently guide them and offer them suggestions and information on their new journey.  These are special and beautiful moments that should not be missed.  In these new endeavors as our sons display their vulnerability we have an opportunity to love and support them - an opportunity to build their confidence (not just in driving, but in themselves). 

So, hang on because they are still going to take some of the turns too fast :)
